Multi-­‐Line Statements in Python

   Statements in Python typically end with a new line. Python does, however, allow the use of the line continuation character (\) to denote that the line should continue.

     For example: total = item_one + \           item_two + \                    item_three 

           Statements contained within the [], {} or () brackets do not need to use the line continuation character. For example:

  days = [‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’]
